Default Best Polish??

What do you guys think is the best car polish?? Is it worth it to polish your car and then wax it? Or should I just wax it?

Your questions are quite open ended. The best polish? The first step you would need to know is what are your looking for in your paint finish? Polishes are designed for cleaning the paint and will removal slight defects and prioe to an application of wax or sealant or both for protection and high gloss. Also are you looking for one step, mutliple steps, ease of installation, removal etc. application by hand or machine? Since Care Car is a Man thing - we must always try new products, have bottles half full in the garage and always let your friends know what products YOU love. As for the polishing the vehicle before an application of wax and sealant - It will not hurt however is it NOT required each time you wax (unless you are in Florida during Love Bug Season). You want to inspect the paint finish and determine what you are want from your paint finish. We work one on one daily with customers that ask these very questions and I always need to see the vehicle and ask questions. Hope this helps.

Wash, clay, polish as necessary, and wax/seal.

The "best" is subjective and can only be answered yourself.

Route 66 exotic coatings by far, my buddy told me about them and I haven't looked back. They got it all wax, polish etc...... I used to use Megauirs but its all Route66 now. You should check them out rt66wax.com or go on there e-bay store Route 66 Muscle Car Parts. This is just my opinion.

I've used many different kinds of wax's and polishes over the years. I have found that Zaino is the easiest to use and gives the best shine and protection. Not to mention the more layers you put on, the better the shine gets. Zaino all the way!
